BIG ‘Thank You’ Please take time to say a big “Thank You” to the Maintenance Department Staff and Cleaning Staff for the excellent job they did (and continue to do) getting the campus ready for the fall semester. Even though they were short-handed, the staff did a superb job making the campus look great and everyone proud of the buildings and grounds.
